Tinubu pledged to work towards creating and powering a knowledge-based economy in Nigeria if elected president.He added: “Among other things if and when we are elected, we will work towards developing Nigeria as a knowledge-based economy that meets the overarching needs of the present and plans for the future.

“We will institute 21st-century financial reforms, embark on 21st-century infrastructural development and 21st-century elimination of crimes that will be technology-driven.”On his part, the APC National Chairman commended Tinubu for the efforts made and structures erected to ensure an effective campaign.According to him, “You’re already writing the word success with these laudable efforts.  Those who know you expect no less. And it is our hope and prayer that God Almighty crown our efforts with victory in February 2023.”
